www.proboards.com.
If you sign up there and tell them your url and all that stuff you will get a link admin,name and password, and last but not least, when you go to the link and you can customize them as you wish.

The url will look something like this:

I am trying to code my own, maybe if they RAWK enough I will give out the source (but be warned, my PHP skills aren't good overall, and second of all my source will probably contain errors I can use to h4ckz0r your forums, just as an added bonus for me).

shameless advertising indeed

with BB you:
download it, unpack it, upload it to ur server(if u have a seperate style or 5 that takes long), set it up (5 mins), delete a couple files (if the set up doesnt do it) and then change settings within the forum to make it perform as you wish

on DSL about 30hours work if u searched for and used a new style

EDIT: Zero im in the process of thinking about writing a non-traditional forum (as in the emails are on are bar at the bottom of post etc)

.rar : http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/phpbb/phpBB-2.0.10.rar?download (i think)

1. ok unpack the files to a directory on you HD

2. make a directory named forum or phpBB etc to hold your forum on your site (mine is root/forum)

3. upload the the unpacked files to the new folder

once you've done this i'll carry on

i dunt think that using freewebs will work and you need a FTP program (smartFTP.com) to handle the uploading because there are far too many files and i doubt it would work properly

if you really cant set up the forums with my (+other ppls) guidance i'll do it for you, but i'd recommend learning

? i will need u to get a dbspot account and mysql on it and give me your password etc detail (change them afterwords) and i will have to know loads of stuff that you will have to change afterwards and its more worthwhile to do it yourself with guidance

finally: death to your moving smilies
